SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 743,622, dated November10, 1903. Application filed January 10, 1903. I Serial No. 138.562. (Nomodel.)

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, Gnoncn W. DANIELS, a citizen of the United States,residing at Springfield, in the county of Clark and State of Ohio, haveinvented a new and useful Oombination-Tool, of which the following is aspecification.

This invention is a combination-tool, the object being to provide acombined hammer, oil-can, wrench, screw-driver, and tack-puller and withthis object in view the invention consists in the details ofconstruction hereinafter fully described, and pointed out inthe claims.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a combination-toolconstructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a longitudinalsectional view of the same, the hammer and screw-driver being shown inelevation.

In constructing a tool in accordance with my invention I provide ahammer A with an integral handle portion B, said portion being hollow,providing a suitable oil-receptacle. This handle B is somewhatcontracted adjacent to the hammer, as shown at B, and anexternally-threaded portion 13 projects beyond the hammer, said threadedportion hav-' ing a screw-cap B arranged thereon, which closes the endof the oil-receptacle. When it is desired, however, to oil an axle orother object, the screw-cap is removed and the oil can be dischargedfrom the receptacle. The combined handle and oil-receptacle B has athreaded opening B at the rear end, which opening is normally closed bymeans of a screw-plug B, said plug being removed whenever it is desiredto refill the oil-receptacle.

The rear end of the handle is shaped into a polygonal socket O, whichserves as an axlenut wrench and by means of which the axlenut can beremoved whenever it is desired to oil the axle. Integral with the hammerand handle is the combined tack-puller and screwdriver D, saidscrewdriver being bifurcated, as shown at D, in order to provide atackpuller. With the exception of the screw-cap and the screw-plug allof the various parts of my invention are formed of one piece.

It will thus be seen that I provide an exceedingly cheap, simple, anddurable combination-tool which will embody all of the characteristicfeatures hereinbefore referred to.

Having thus fully described my invention,

what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- V 1. Adevice of the kind described, c0mprising a tubular cylindrical handleportion reduced in diameter at its forward end and enlarged and squaredadjacent its rear end, an inwardly-extended threaded flange separatingthe squared from the cylindrical portion, and removable means forclosing each end of the cylindrical portion.

2. A device of the kind described comprising a cylindrical metal tubereduced in its forward portion and enlarged and squared at its rear end,the forward end being exteriorly threaded, an interiorly-threadedcontracted neck portion adjacent the rearend, athreaded disk fitting insaid neck portion and a threaded cap fitting over the forward end.
